1. This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating to the BASIC CONFIGURATION
decided for Acer's "global" product offering. To better fit local market requirements and enhance product
competitiveness, your regional office MAY have decided to extend the functionality of a machine (e.g.
add-on card, modem, or extra memory capability). These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered
in this generic service guide. In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible
personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details.
2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most up-to-date information
available on your regional web or channel. If, for whatever reason, a part number change is made, it will
not be noted in the printed Service Guide. For ACER-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your Acer
office may have a DIFFERENT part number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service
Guide. You MUST use the list provided by your regional Acer office to order FRU parts for repair and
service of customer machines.

Touch Pad Basics (with fingerprint reader)
The following items show you how to use the Touch Pad with Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader:
Move your finger across the touchpad (1) to move the cursor.
Press the left (2) and right (4) buttons located beneath the touchpad to perform selection and
execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse.
Tapping on the touchpad is the same as clicking the left button.
Use Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader (3) supporting Acer FingerNav 4-way control function
(only for certain models) to scroll up or down and move left or right a page. This fingerprint reader
or button mimics your cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows applications.
NOTE: When using the Touch Pad, keep it - and your fingers - dry and clean. The Touch Pad is sensitive to
finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will not
increase the Touch Pads responsiveness.
